Docker Destop 4.26.1 not working on Windows 10 pro virtual box

[bajajy]

Virtual box 7.x
Host Mac os
Virtual Box OS windows 10 pro
Virtual Box windows docker desktop 4.26.1

I installed Windows virtual box on my mac. I installed wsl --install. After installing docker desktop on windows virtual box and starting it getting error for wsl. If i do wsl --install again it is giving message please enable virtualization in BIOS. In Virtual box BIOS, there is no setting to enable virtualization. I also enable this setting for virtual box on my mac.VBoxManage modifyvm 'windows 10 pro vm' --nested-hw-virt on

Please advise how to make it work docker desktop on windows virtual box.

Virtualbox 7.0 on Ventura or later must use Apple's hypervisor, due to Apple's restrictions. This means Apple's hypervisor takes hardware virtualization and won't let Virtualbox use it natively or pass it into the VM.

If you're on Ventura or later, you're stuck. If you can go back to Monterey or whatever was before Ventura, then you can try 6.1, which had native hardware virtualization available and Docker in a Windows VM might work.

Note that you're also trying nested virtualization in this Mac > Windows > Docker arrangement, which requires special features in the processor. A VM vbox.log can show these features, look for these lines and hope a "(1)" shows at the end of each line:
VMX - Virtual-Machine Extensions
Ept - Extended Page Tables
UnrestrictedGuest - Unrestricted guest
VmcsShadowing - VMCS shadowing

my company mac is on ventura and do not have option to go back. I tried to use Oracle virtual box 6.1.48 with windows 10 but this way, vm is getting error out while starting

OK, Ventura is 7.0 or bust, and no nested virtualization, so no Docker in the VM.

Since this is a work Mac, if you need this setup for work purposes, talk to your bosses about it. They'll make IT do what is needed.
